[HTC One S] Marijnhur:
Stuck on 2G/EDGE

Hi,

I have the same problem with my HTC one S from t-mobile. I will try to retrace my steps before this problem occured.

I had CM 10.0 stable running smoothly and I wanted to upgrade to CM 10.1.3 RC2. The installation of CM 10.1.3 RC2 failed because my HBOOT was of a version way lower than required. To fix this I installed a RUU (to be precise: RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5_Radio_1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L_release_275655_signed.exe) which matched my radio version at that time (1.06es.50.02.31).

After the installation of this RUU I installed the OTA update HTC presented me with in the hope that this would upgrade my HBOOT to the required version. After the OTA upgrade I confirmed that my HBOOT now was of version 2.15.0000 and my radio was upgraded to version 1.15.50.05.29. This enabled me to install CM 10.1.3 RC2 which installe perfectly. But after the installation my 3g was not working anymore and I was stuck on 2G and EDGE (in the netherlands there are only a few places that offer EDGE so mostly I am stuck on 2G).

I have tried:

- wcdma only mode, result: sometimes a short period of 3G and then no connection at all (also no 2G), but most of the times it went straight to no connection at all.

- I have tried the method of Scforth: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45675287&postcount=135

- I have tried multiple times to reinstall CM 10.1.3 RC2

- Various connection settings (related and unrelated settings).

I also found this post, is this of any relevance?

Could this be a radio version problem, would I be able to downgrade my radio by installing and older RUU?

My phones data:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 2.15.0000

Installing the lates nightly of CM 10.2 didn't work either.
[HTC One S] scforth:
I think this is the differentiator in our case. I believe I have read, and someone correct me if I am wrong, that the build.prop settings mentioned one of my previous posts are network/carrier specific.

I have also had times when I flashed a rom and the wifi would not even toggle on and the cell data connection was dead, but I think that had to do with lower level configuration items (radios and kernels) rather than the android software.
[HTC One S] GabeyC:
Yea, build.prop depends on the carrier, go check the radio thread to have a proper configuration for specific carriers, although not all of them are listed
[HTC One S] Marijnhur:
Well I have tried a number of different settings for the build.prop file but there seems to be no difference.

Is there any way I can downgrade my radio version without having S-OFF? I'm a bit lost here, from what I have read I understood that you can't flash a radio seperately without having S-OFF. So my options are waiting for a RUU with a radio upgrade (since I can't downgrade through a RUU) or doing a S-OFF and downgrade my radio?

The radio version that I had before all this was 1.06es.50.02.31 I believe.
[HTC One S] cp101:
I've downgraded, upgraded, flashed to stock and everything in between; nothing worked for me. I'd really love a solution to this.
[HTC One S] dr3amsINdigital:
My 4G works again since I've got my phone back from repair. I want to S-OFF and change ROMs, but I'm afraid this is going to happen again. This has got to be the most frustrating issue since it happens even though steps are done correctly!

Can anyone confirm if editing build.prop fixes the issue? build.prop settings are explained in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1884249
[HTC One S] cclim387:
i had similar problems with 3g/4g, but not after s-offing (im still s-on). i came about this problem after updating firmware/RUU for cm10.1.3 stable rom. here's my post copy/pasted from another support thread:

im having the same problem after flashing the new firmware/RUU to get hboot 2.15 which was required for cm10.1.3 stable rom; i followed these directions here:

http://xdaforums.com/show...highlight=lion

the rom flashed fine, but i couldnt stand the lockscreen delay so i went back to cm10.1 experimental. Thats when i noticed no more 3g/4g, only edge (i believe i didnt have 3g/4g on 10.1.3 stable either). Whenever i force 3g and switch airplane mode on then off, i have 3g/H+ speeds for a few minutes (so i dont think the hardware is fried or anything), but then it loses signal altogether until i allow edge again. i think i found a potential fix here... but i have no idea what to do with the link:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/48342/

from post #6516 from the [ROM][S4][WIP] CM10.2 on HTC One S [official nightlies] thread in the htc one s development forum. can i get some help on how to apply a patch? thanks!
[HTC One S] Skilleyes:
Same problem as everyone here : upgraded firmware to install Maximus HD and stuck on 2g ever since. Can't find a solution anywhere.. And warranty expired..
[HTC One S] dr3amsINdigital:
Did it happen after you did S-OFF or after you updated the firmware?
[HTC One S] Skilleyes:
Unfortunately I don't know. I got SuperCID, then S-OFF and updated the firmware and ROM right after that. I only noticed the next day that I had this issue.
[HTC One S] lebs4life:
i have the exact same problem, i don't know if its related to s-offing my phone or installing the maximus hd 10 rom as i did both the same day...

[MENTION=3056928]scforth[/MENTION] hey man. Ive seen this thread for a while, never posted in it though. I had the same problem but it wasnt from s-off ing. I had a custom rom installed and one day it just would show edge all the time (same as you). Talked to my provider... blah blah blah..... apparently they said that there must be something wrong with the motherboard. So i S-offed and ran an RUU and reset the "LOCKED" flag in the bootloader so my phone was completely stock. I sent it in for repairs and they changed the motherboard. Now it works even with S-OFF. it turns out it was a manufacturing defect. If it has been less than a year since you got the phone you should send it in too. Hope I helped
[HTC One S] noraz123:
For what it is worth, I've had the same problem for a few weeks. I tried to install MaximusHD, but failed to get it installed properly and wound up in a continual bootloop. So I went back to stock, where I was getting 4g, but my HTC One S was continually dropping the signal.

So I then went S-Off again (this time via Moonshine), and tried many different ROM and radio combinations. While this solved my signal from dropping, I got stuck on 2g.

I am now back to stock again and my signal doesn't drop, but I am stuck on 2g / edge. When I try to select "WCDMA Only" from Network Mode, I lose connection and the phone cannot pick it up again.

-------------------------------

For me, Stock meant T-Mobile USA using the RUU: RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2

I am at a loss and considering giving up on the phone. Would love to hear if anyone every conquers the 2G / edge issue.
[HTC One S] billydroid:
It's funny maximus HD gives me the best signal, still stuck on edge, and it's using a European radio. I have tmobile in the US.

Also I followed some build prop edit advice from a max hd discusion thread and had 4g for about 8mins, did a speed test and everything.

I got so excited, then nothing.
[HTC One S] Rafek Rafat:
so i can say bye bye my one s ???

i had the same issue ..... and tried many solutions but no good news !!!! so will we say bye bye to our 3g ??
[HTC One S] Killadude:
I found a fix guys , was having the same issue this happens because of bad firmware/radio flash!!

Use any software that lets you adb shell, once you have shell, flash the rcdata to (mmcblckp20) by copying the partition to sdcard then "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p20 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20"

then flash the firmware.zip in this thread. You should have radio 1.11 and hboot 2.15 after flashing. Then erase internal storage and install new rom ;) should work now
[HTC One S] noraz123:
Just to clarify, the firmware you are specifying is for ROMs that use a 3.4 kernel. Which ROM did you use to regain 3g/4g connectivity?
[HTC One S] billydroid:
Thanks Killadude.

But you had a different problem. This does not work.
[HTC One S] blackhartct:
Guys this problem is hardware. I have an HTC one S with the same problem. Basically if you got the 2nd version from t-mobile and tried to update to 2.15 while s-off the update tries to write to the wrong section of your phone because the update had different code in it for S-Off phones. This Bricks Your Radio. Period End of Story. Only fix is to replace the MB. Trust i spent weeks trying everything.
[HTC One S] billydroid:
I understand the only success people have is by replacing the MB.

But I don't see how flashing something ruins hardware? Is that actually possible?
[HTC One S] mohzim:
I did not have S-off or even rooted before the update. However after the update I lost 3g with the same behavior where I get for 2min and then defaults to 2g.

It may be a fact but don't want to believe its hardware issue since I don't have warranty :(
[HTC One S] blackhartct:
Yes, if you try to write the wrong img file to the wrong partition ur phone will brick.

Jtag MIGHT work.
[HTC One S] ukyovt:
I have exactly problem too when i update stock rom 3.14.531.11 TMOUS. I try a lot of solution to fix it but also have a problem :( :(
[HTC One S] blackhartct:
UMMMMM.. i think i fixed it.

I followed that guys directions then flashed the JB RUU. My once dead one s is now working with full 4G on stock...
[HTC One S] billydroid:
BLACKHARTCT

For real? Don't play with my emotions.

If it is fixed. Mind posting your exact steps. Right now I'm running maximus hd and it's a long annoying process for failure.
[HTC One S] ukyovt:
May u post ur solution here, step by step? I spend a week with all solution on internet but can't fix :( Feel sick with my fone :cyclops:

It's really can fix, in my country, some people fixed it done. Unfortunately, i follow exactly his solution, but it don't work for me. :(
[HTC One S] Rafek Rafat:
small question

Whats the MB ???
[HTC One S] billydroid:
Mother board
[HTC One S] Rafek Rafat:

can you give a link to know how can i buy the Right MB ??? or if you already have a link from ebay ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleyan:
my phone originally started out with the stock 2.1update 1 firmware, t959ujfd...

when i turn on (off then on) the phone it would boot to a "Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000" logo, then switch to a "Vibrant Samsung" logo.

when i received my phone this was how it booted..

Later, i rooted the phone, and flashed clockwork mod recovery.. I made a CWM recovery back up here..

After creating the backup, i put CM10 on to the internal sdcard and installed it via CWM. During the

installation, it rebooted into the newer version of CWM recovery. After choosing "reboot device", my vibrant

would first load the "Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000" logo, then the Cyanogen mod logo. but then the screen would

flash, and the cyanogen mod logo would appear again. Shortly it dumps me right back at the new version of CWM recovery..

At this point, i thought i flashed CM 10 incorrectly, so from the CMW recovery, i restored that first back up. after restoring that

back up, my phone no longer boots.. Right now if i leave the batter in and plug in a USB, the circular spinny charging icon appears,

then freezes (it doesnt spin).. i can turn on the phone, but it stays stuck at the "Galaxy S GT-I9000" logo.. I cant boot into recovery.

so i read a bunch of other threads about perhaps when ibought the phone, it had a GB bootloader. and i have tried ways to get my vibrant

into download mode.. which unfortunately i havent.. So i can't use Odin and flash back to stock.. Hopefully you guys can help me get back to stock so i can at least use my phone and/or start over installing CM10..

Note: i did not install/flash anything else other than CM10. i did not use custom kernels, or install Google Apps etc..

Edit: Ok, now i can reliably get into download mode. for some reason, the physical button combinations were wrong for my vibrant.. instead of the

usual 3 button combo, my download mode was volume up + power.. this was also the reason why i had a hard time getting into recovery since it was

volume down + power.. It seems as if, my boot loader was changed when i bought the phone..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinzy98:
That's the combo I use I don't have boot loaders. Son if that worked did you get it fixed with Odin or heimdall
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
All you had to do is flash cm10 again. Most of the times you have to flash jb roms more than once because of the different cwm versions . Make sure you read the entire thread before taking action, I'm sure it said that somewhere but anyway Gb bootloaders are much more convenient so that's a plus. Just flash back to stock with Odin or if you still want cm10 then boot into recovery and flash again.
[HTC Sensation] Infiltrator2K:
Having recently flashed to Albinoman's 4.2.1 JB ROM I was advised to flash the firmware to resolve a random reboot issue as the existing firmare was pretty old. I flashed the firmware to 3.3 Universal which stablised the random reboots, albeit reduced them significantly. Although now I've noiced that battery's charge estimation is all over the place, and when I plug the phone in to charge the LED flashes orange indicating what I believe to be a overheating battery, however, the battery is cool and despite the warning light the battery charges.

Another stange thing is whilst the phone is connected to the charger the phone won't power off but instead reboots, and to power on the phone I must remove the micro USB connection/charger.

I understand the 3.3 Universal Firmware is stated for use with ICS although surely it shouldn't impact on the BIOS' commands. I've always been sceptical about the 'one size fits all' design (universal) thing. Are these symptoms caused by an incompatible/corrupt BIOS or is it a hardware failure?

I've tried removing the battery and doing the discharge full charge thing but it's not helped :/

Help much appreciated

cheers

Ian
[HTC Sensation] KiD3991:
I'm not a professional. But I think the HTC Sensation XE have one light only? It indicates charging that's all.

As for the other case. I noticed that booting up the device needs only 1 button click, instead of long press. Mine does not happen to do that though.

Currently on CM 10.1 January build. I have a Logitech Wireless Bluetooth Adapter that I connect the Nexus to so that music can be streamed to a surround sound system. This had worked on a prior version (the October M, I believe), and this issue has persisted.

After placing the adapter into pairing mode, the Nexus will find the adapter, and after a few seconds will fail to pair and leave pairing mode. The Nexus does not have any issues pairing to a Bluetooth transmitter in the car.

Edit: Fixed, had to simply unplug it and wait a bit, paired immediately.

Hi Guys!

Present unlock bootloader from firmware V30B.

This is bootloader was unlocked user nikname payback from russian forum 4pda.ru and make on IDA Pro disassembler, an analog unlock bootloader on LG Optimus L7

This full work with original kernel.

Dont enter into recovery before flash it!

Enter in recovery from switch off the phone

Press hold button Volume plus and G, and press Power.

Unlocked bootloader correctly working with CWM 6.0.1.4 only

Move this two files, bootloader and recovery to the root of memory sdcard;

Enter in the command line

su

dd if=/sdcard/u-boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

And reboot or reboot recovery.

Or download exe file, and switch on usb debugging mode on the phone and start exe file.

Patching firmware V30B CIS for SFT with add unlock bootloader and CWM recovery is here: http://disk.yandex.ru/public/?hash=MbUS7VP/Xt3wCJ1GisQ5g8sfgRnBUuhURSpxcqWr+jM=.

This firmware without root. Superuser in attach. Flash in CWM.

Sorry for my English.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Not bad... This is useful to Redy. Since there's hardware keys to boot to recovery. And a recovery finally for him.

I'll compile my kernel with orig boot args to be able to use this bootloader. Good job.

Isnt this the same somone has already posted...and this is not unlocked bootloader of v30 ...but bootloader of v20 pushed in v30..

I believe the kernels on the recoveries are still using rmcc's cmd mod which won't work with V30 bootargs. That recovery just got a kernel which got fixed cmdline or no cmdline mod.

Hi all and Nooby,Xonar,Gabwerz if you are reading this....i think you will be already aware of this...if not this can be useful

Built my kernel v30c stock with original bootargs and works perfectly fine..no modification of config file is needed ..and also no need to force cmdline....

also it does not have the first led not blinking issue and also works according to settings done to the frontkey light.....

i think the problem was rmcc patch which we was modifying the bootargs.......

hence no patch required to fix led problem...so lg source is proper afterall..

will be testing for sdcard unmount issue as i faced this with original kernel....but not when i was on v30b repack of nooby and my kernel...

The kernel is compile with linaro toolchain....

You could also test for the camera and especially video in cm10.1 if you have got the time, to build another kernel for it. Maybe this already solves some issues ;)
